Answer:

The answer is indeed letter C. My boss is a tornado.

Explanation:

A metaphor is a figure of speech that makes a comparison between two different things in order to attribute a quality of one of them to the other. To make such comparison, the metaphor states that "thing A is thing B". That's exactly what happens in letter C. My boss is a tornado. The literal meaning would be impossible, but we are able to understand that the boss has some characteristics in common with a tornado. Maybe he is relentless or destructive, just like a tornado.

Options A and B are similes. A simile is a figure of speech similar to a metaphor in the sense that it also makes a comparison. It needs support words that the metaphor doesn't use - "as" or "like". Option D is a personification because it attributes a living quality - gulping - to a non-living thing - a car.

Explain why whites who opposed reconstruction policies often pointed to South Carolina as an example of corruption ?​
Afina-wow [57]

Answer:

There was a black representative in NC

Explanation:

"Newly enfranchised African Americans in South Carolina, who heavily outnumbered whites, were able to elect a black majority to the state house of representatives for every session but one during the Reconstruction era. Although whites who opposed Reconstruction policies often pointed to South Carolina as an example of corruption, the new state assembly passed laws ensuring funding for public education, securing the franchise for all men, and protecting civil rights."

Why SHOULD teacher have guns in school?<br> (Explain in at least 4 sentences)
Sliva [168]
If teachers are allowed to have a carry on (gun), it would allow them to protect against a shooter or intruder on the campus they work on. With proper training and discipline they could use their carry on or gun to protect not only their selves but other students. teachers would no longer be defenseless in case of an active shooter situation. The downside is that some teachers may use it to threaten students, but that is why with proper discipline and training teachers could save lives just with a gun on their side.
